have you restarted the services? worth a shot if you haven't .. the fastest way to restart everything would be to drop to runlevel 1 then go back (hit init 1, then when prompted for the root password hit CTRL-D). note this will kill and restart all processes on the system(except a couple), so be sure you don't have anything important running, but sounds like you don't at the moment. if theres only a couple networking services running it may help just to do /etc/init.d/networking restart, and restart the various services as well(networking restart probably isn't performed when changing runlevels so you may want to do this too just for kicks) nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
